The Innocent One

Everyone thinks they know Y/N Callahan. Sweet. Kind. Innocent. The girl who checks on everyone when they’re scared. The girl who would supposedly never hurt anyone. So when a series of disturbing crimes sends the small town of Bellwood into panic, nobody thinks to look at her. Instead, everyone has chosen their suspect: Briar Whitlock, the quiet boy with a bad reputation and far too many secrets. But Y/N knows something they don’t. She knows exactly who the killer is. Because it’s her. Then Detective Kellan Pierce arrives in town, determined to prove that Briar isn’t responsible. As Kellan gets closer to the truth, he also gets closer to Y/N—and for the first time, her carefully controlled world starts becoming unpredictable. Because Y/N can manipulate almost anyone. Except maybe the one person she never planned to fall for.

KNOCKOUT

Y/N Rosewood has spent her entire life being protected by her father—the most powerful district attorney in Los Angeles. But when anonymous threats start getting closer, Y/N decides she needs protection on her own terms. Enter Kieran Blake. Twenty-year-old underground boxer. Professional troublemaker. Her father’s absolute worst nightmare. Their solution? Pretend to date. It sounds simple. Kieran stays close enough to protect her, Y/N gets some freedom, and they both walk away when the threats are gone. Except Kieran’s world comes with underground fights, dangerous rivalries, secrets, and enemies who know exactly where to hurt him. And Y/N’s father is investigating the very world Kieran is desperately trying to escape. Then there’s Ethan—the ex Y/N keeps finding her way back to—and Riley, her friend who knows far more about the underground scene than she ever admitted. The fake relationship was supposed to keep Y/N safe. Instead, it might be the thing that puts everyone in danger. And falling for Kieran? That definitely wasn’t part of the deal.

The Island Has No Rules

They were supposed to spend one week on an island. Seven days of survival training. Seven days away from school. Seven days with their friends. Then the storm came. Their boat was destroyed. Their teachers were gone. Their phones were useless. And suddenly, a group of privileged teenagers were left alone on an island with no adults, no rescue, and no idea when anyone was coming. At first, they made rules. Share the food. Stay together. Keep the fire burning. Nobody goes into the forest alone. Then someone broke the rules. And everything changed. As fear spreads and supplies disappear, friendships turn into alliances, alliances turn into factions, and the students begin fighting over who gets to decide what happens next. Y/N Carter never expected Roman Vale—the arrogant boy she’s spent years competing with—to become the person she relies on most. Unfortunately, being stranded together doesn’t make them like each other any more. It just makes their rivalry impossible to escape. Because on an island where there are no rules, no adults, and no consequences… how long before they stop acting like themselves?

And when a sharp-tongued journalist starts digging into the casino’s secrets, the girls realize the glittering world they’ve built might not be as perfect as it looks.
